Chapter 27: Understood
Liam’s POV:
I’m in my room right now, after I took a shower, and let me tell you, it was PAINFUL.
I’m bare-chested, with a towel around my waist, sitting down on a chair while the doctor is standing in front of me and cleaning wounds.
My mind is so foggy right now due to the fact that Anastasia is standing in the corner of MY room, watching me for the past thirty minutes.
" Do you feel any pain here?" The doctor asked me while she was pressing on different muscles of my back, shoulder, and arm.
I shook my head.
The doctor hummed and stepped toward her bag to bring some other tools while I moved my gaze back to my baby.
I still can not believe she actually defended me.
I’m not happy only because she is my mate, no.
I’m actually happy that someone who is rich defended someone poor like me against another rich person.
There are still rich people who see us as equal.
Also, she is here instead of being with Scott.
Does she maybe like me?
That’s not possible.
" And you are done. I’ll come tomorrow to check up on you. Congratulations on winning, Liam." Spoke to the doctor while collecting her stuff.
I smiled and thanked her as she grinned back before slightly bowing to the head alpha and leaving the room.
Right after I heard the door closing, I slowly moved my gaze to my mate and smiled " I’m staying here, right?"
I did not forget our deal.
If I win I will stay here instead of going to the old packhouse with the other omegas.
I won so I just need her to say yes so that I can stay with her here and make sure she is safe at all times.
She sighed and stepped forward as I gulped nervously.
"You need to train more though. Scott is nothing like rogues." In her deep feminine slow tone, she spoke as she lifted her hand to touch the bandage around my chest and shoulder.
My head got even foggier when she lifted her hand to touch my wounded cheek, humming before bending over.
My eyes flashed in horror and panic when her face was so close to mine.
"They are healing already. I wonder how your body can heal an alpha wound this fast. I thought only true blood can do this." She talked while caressing my wounds that were closing up right before her eyes.
I secretly took a deep breath in order to stop myself from panicking because of her proximity " It’s because I have two wolves."
And that’s true.
I have the healing power of both my alpha wolf and omega wolf combined.
Although there are a lot of misconceptions about how slow the omega’s healing process is, it isn’t.
Omega’s body tends to heal way faster than people think since their bodies are made to heal themselves after giving birth.
" Is that so?" She mumbled as she kept watching the wound on my cheek until it closed all the way and healed slowly, leaving no trace behind.
I nodded dumbly while staring at every single detail of her face.
While doing so, she felt my deep stares at her which is why she suddenly moved her gaze from my cheek to my eyes.
I don’t know what the fuck happened to me, I lowered my gaze to look at her red lips, I felt like they are summoning me to kiss them.
"Put some clothes on and follow me to my office." She patted my head and left.
I smiled like an idiot and got up to do what Anastasia asked me to do before sprinting to her office.
I did not get inside right away, I stood by the door when I noticed the presence of the former alpha there.
" How could you hit my friend? She is literally as old as your mother." Elisabeth asked, she was so mad, and the way Anastasia was sitting at her desk and working on her laptop as calmly as possible which pissed off the former alpha more.
" Mother, I said it once and I will say it again. I don’t care who she is or how old she is, anyone who breaks my rules gets punished." She paused to take a sip of her coffee...
WAIT?
Coffee?
She does not like coffee so why is she drinking it?
" She should be thankful it was just a slap and should even be more thankful to Snow because he had every single right to kill her son and could easily do it but didn’t." She paused again to grab some papers from the drawer and take another sip of her before looking at her mother " Please leave my office and stop trying to pair me with random people. A wimp alpha? Seriously, mom. I’m not you."
I could see the former alpha narrowing her fist, her angry pheromones spread all over the room " Don’t forget that he is your father. Stop disrespecting him."
" I’m stating facts, dear mother." With a smirk spoke Anastasia as she stood up and walked close to her mother "Poor father was too weak and could not stop himself from fucking an omega even when you were pregnant. And you, the hopeless romantic woman you are, forgave him for cheating on you."
Elizabeth lifted her hand and slapped Anastasia across the face.
My eyes flashed purple as I narrowed my fist on the door, causing the material of the door to bend in the area where I was holding it.
The only thing that was able to prevent me from getting inside was Anastasia’s laughter.
She laughed while wiping the little blood on her lips " Did I hurt your feelings, ma?" Elisabeth had tears in her eyes, while Anastasia’s face quickly switched to emotionless as if she was not the same person who burst out laughing just seconds ago.
" This is why I’m telling you to leave me alone. You can’t keep forcing me to meet people against my will. If you give me peace I’ll return the favor. Have a good day, mother." freёwebnovel.com
Elisabeth sniffed and wiped away her tears, I quickly rushed to hide behind the wall when Elisabeth stormed out of the room crying lowly.
I feel really bad for Elisabeth.
Having a fated mate cheat on you while you are pregnant must be worse than getting rejected.
I wonder how she was able to forgive him.
" Snow." My ears perked up when I heard my baby saying my name, fuck she knew I was there.
I rushed to the door and stepped inside " Yes."
" Sit down." I came forward and took a seat as I watched her bringing something out of the drawer, writing down something before handing it to me " This is your award for winning."
wait what?
There is an award for winning a fight.
My eyes almost jumped out their places when I read the price on the check.
100 thousand dollars?
For what?
" What?" I dumbfoundedly mumbled while staring at the check and at the amount of money written on it.
I heard the typing sounds of the keyboard stop as she slowly lifted her gaze and answered me " The check. It’s your prize for winning a fight with an alpha in your human form. Very few people can do this. I make sure to... Well, honor them."
Does she even understand what a hundred thousand dollars is?
Why is she talking like she has just given me five dollars?
" But this is a hundred thousand dollars chech. Isn’t it too much?" I asked, only for her to glance at me and shake her head as a no before going back to work "Caleb will give you a timetable for your training which will start the second your wounds heal. If you aren’t trained enough by next month, you will go guard the omegas in the old packhouse. Understood?"
" Y-yes, understood," I replied, still unable to wrap my head around the fact that I had just received this huge amount of money.
I can literally go and buy a house for my mom right at this moment.
I stayed there, staring at the check in my hand for a very long time.
I was enjoying being here with her in the same room and my presence did not seem to annoy or disturb her which is why my eyes slowly closed.
Her scent surrounds me, I did not realize how I let go of the check and left it on her desk as I closed my eyes, slightly smiling happily because of her pheromones.
I immediately drifted to sleep on the chair in her office.
Liam’s POV End:
After almost two hours of working, Anastasia wanted to grab her cup of coffee to have a sip but she instantly realized that her cup was empty.
As she was about to stand up, her eyes finally caught the sleeping male in her office.
She blinked multiple times while staring at him.
She completely forgot he was here, but how?
Anastasia literally hates people’s presence in her office when she works and her ears could easily pick up his heartbeats or the sounds of his breathing.
So how did she peacefully work while he was here?
As quietly as possible Anastasia stood up and slowly stepped closer to the sleeping male.
She stared at him for some long seconds before walking even closer, only to lift her hand, placing it on his cheek, feeling his smooth skin against her palm.
"Mhm~ Anastasia." She immediately pulled her hand away when the sleeping male whimpered and said her name in a low mumble.
